Rosanne Cash - Good Intent Lyrics
I sailed in on the good intentWith all intentions clearA man without a mysteryA vision brought me hereThe ocean gave me room to roamBut the shore is calling outSo I will marry, built a homeAnd see what that's aboutChildren came by the dozens thenDrifting south like rainI worked the soil, I used the gunThe waves have to turned to grainI tried to love this ArkansasWith black and bleeding handsBut I will not survive this lifeBut I'll become a manMy brother sold my mother's houseI never shed a tearI could watch the world in smokeThere's nothin' for me hereI've seen behind the darkened vailThat's all I want to knowSo I'll sail off on the good intentTo my true happy homeYes, I sail off on the good intentNever more to roam
